The Southampton Players, the acclaimed theater troupe at Southampton College that pairs seasoned local actors and top student talent, will perform four weekends of one-act plays in repertory this winter.

The troupe leads off with "Mere Mortals," master wordsmith David Ives' pointed and humorous collection of one-act plays, January 18-19 and February 1-2. Then, the Players return with their sixth-annual "InterAct" series of locally written plays that feature over 60 different roles, subtitled "Two by Four," to be staged January 25-26 and February 8-9. All shows are at 7 p.m.

This is the third-straight year that the plays in "InterAct" are all home-brewed, most of them coming out of Southampton College's esteemed MFA in Writing workshops with famed cartoonist and humor writer Jules Feiffer, award-winning playwright Robert Reeves, and Time magazine essayist Roger Rosenblatt.

Tickets are $8 general admissions. For further information, contact the Southampton Players box office at 631-287-8480.

In April, the Southampton Players take on James Goldman's drama "The Lion in Winter" and in June will run "A Chorus Line."
